Ocean Pines and its contemporary residential development anchor the southern landscape where the Saint Martin River meets its many tidal prongs and creeks. This 2019 survey captures the interface between modern growth and the historic agricultural roots of the Delmarva Peninsula, straddling the Delaware Maryland state line. To the north, Selbyville remains a significant crossroads, while smaller settlements like Bishopville and Showell are surrounded by a dense network of cemeteries, including the Old Saint Martins Cem and Red Men Cem, reflecting deep-seated community lineages. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system of ditches and branches, such as the Agricultural Ditch and Slab Bridge Prong, which have long shaped the region's farming and land use before reaching the coastal marshes near Jenkins Neck and Margots Island.
